Smooth Bent Billiard (CCC) Tobacco Pipe

With over 50 years of experience in making pipes, Claudio Cavicchi is an expert in the craft, with a renowned ability to showcase the best possible grain of each block of briar he uses. This sandblasted bent Billiard from Cavicchi is a fine example of his stellar craftsmanship. Lifting up from a tight transition, the shank terminates at a height that brings it almost level with the upright bowl's rim. The bowl is rounder than that of your average Anglo-French Billiard, contributing continuity in inflection to a sweeping curve that underscores the totality of the pipe's shape, winding from the bowl's fore rim, across the shank, and through a gently tapered, smartly bent stem. The smooth stummel wears a light stain that shows off Cavicchi's eye for attractive grain patterns.
